Chapter 224: Trial Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Zhenyue’s expression was calm, but there was a trace of undetectable joy between her brows. Lin Zhenxing, on the other hand, was visibly dejected.

Lin Xuan was deep in thought. It was likely that Lin Zhenyue had achieved something in the matter that the two of them had planned, while Lin Zhenxing had achieved nothing. Yes, it was also possible that she had achieved nothing.

“It was alright. I’m lucky to have obtained some new things, but I’m also lucky to have lost them in hindsight. You have to relax. The path to becoming strong takes time. Even if the two of you are twin sisters, your progress will always be different.”

Lin Xuan softly comforted her.

Lin Zhenxing rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan. “What do you know? You’re just a playboy.”

“What?”

Lin Zhenyue sighed helplessly. She patted her little sister’s head and looked at Lin Xuan. “Seems like you’ve broken through. Do you want to give it a try?”

“Oh? You’re already confident enough to wave your blades at me? Then let’s give it a try. As the captain, I must know the progress of your cultivation, so we’ll be able to better cooperate in battle, right?”

Lin Xuan smiled. When the two sisters were at the yellow-rank, their talent wasn’t bad, and their combat strength was still passable. However, that was only when compared to the average nine schools. If they compared themselves to Lin Xuan, Zhu Yuan, and Zhao Hao… then they would be a lot weaker.

However, as mentioned before, their combat strength was formed in the middle to late stages. Once they stepped into the mystic-rank, they would contract their second subdued beast, and they would also learn the body possession spell, their combat strength would rise by leaps and bounds, by then. It was just that he didn’t know if they could withstand Lin Xuan’s terrifying attacks!

Lin Xuan and Lin Zhenyue stood facing each other. They glanced at Lin Zhenxing, who was sitting at the side and didn’t seem to want to participate in the battle. “Shouldn’t the two of you attack together?”

“Whatever, my sister alone can beat you to a pulp.”

Lin Zhenxing fiercely clenched her fists and said fiercely.

“It’s just a simple test. It’ll be good to see the difference between you two… Okay, let’s begin!”

“Flame, possess, and merge!”

Flame was summoned and merged with Lin Zhenyue. Her long, silky black hair turned golden, and armor appeared on her body. On her back were four pairs of wings that were more than two meters long, and her eyes also shone with platinum light.

“Sword!”

In the next moment, the sound of a sword chiming rang out. A transparent sword emitting holy light, wrapped in pure white sacred flame, suddenly floated beside her. She clenched her right hand lightly, and a bright light burst forth!

Wow, this aura, this ostentation… This was as expected of a beastmaster with SS+ innate talent. Once she steps into mystic-rank, there would definitely be a qualitative change!

However, the stronger Lin Zhenyue was, the more excited Lin Xuan became. He was tired of protecting the two all the time. It was time for them to fend for themselves!

“Nice one. I’ll show you mine. Ying azure dragon, activate!”

Lin Xuan didn’t transform into a complete ying azure dragon. Instead, he transformed into a half-dragon man. He had two horns on his head, and there were faint scales on his face. There was a flame pattern between his brows.

Bloodline Supernatural Ability — Wind and Rain Summoning!

Bloodline Supernatural Ability — Riding Mist!

Lin Xuan activated his two great bloodline abilities. The environmental changes occurred immediately after. In an instant, the field was filled with thick mist, and splatters of rain droplets fell inconsistently.

Sword Technique — Leap Out of Heaven!

Lin Zhenyue narrowed her eyes. Lin Xuan had already prepared a battle scene that would be of great help to her. Even though she could not find Lin Xuan’s position through the thick mist, she still had a chance.

She suddenly slashed out with her sword and opened Heaven’s Gate. Using the elemental power of fire and light, she split open the thick fog.

In the next moment, she could see Lin Xuan charging toward her. He was very close, but she was not afraid at all. There was even a trace of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She leaped out confidently!

A great Sun seemed to be slowly leaping out from the horizon. It became brighter and hotter the closer it came!

However, Lin Xuan was not afraid at all. He clenched his fist and immediately used his advanced fist technique, Dragon Tremor!

His fist smashed fiercely onto the huge Sun that was slowly rising. The huge sun shattered with a loud bang, and the light from the explosion shone in all directions.

However, Lin Xuan also felt an abnormality from the attack. Was it a faint burning sensation?

He took a few steps back and took a look at the surface of his fist, only to see that it was already scalded, and there was a small blister on it. Although under the endless life force, it quickly disappeared.

What the heck?!

Was the No Damage skill useless?

How could he be injured by someone of the same rank?

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Zhenyue with some uncertainty. “You actually injured me.”

“Lin Xuan, what do you think you’re made of? Yan has mastered the Supreme Magical Specialty, Spell Penetration. In addition to the sword spirit’s own special characteristic, Sharpness, which can ignore a part of the defense, I even stimulated my own talent and stacked this sword technique. All you got from this was a small blister?”

The more she said, the more Lin Zhenyue felt that Lin Xuan was not a real person. Real people had their limits!

“Now that you’ve said it… That was rude of me to say that! Haha!”

Seeing Lin Zhenyue’s unfriendly expression, Lin Xuan did not dare to hide anymore and quickly changed the topic.

Sword Technique — Nine Stars!

She slashed out her sword and nine stars shot out in a row. After slashing out nine times, it formed a sword ray that cuts through the wind, rain, clouds, and mist. It slashed fiercely at Lin Xuan with killing intent!

“Let’s go!”

The hand that was covered in dragon scales suddenly emitted light. It was augmented with the power of the innate Great Vajra. He then casually pinched the sword ray that came in front of it, the nine stars in a row that Lin Zhenyue had high hopes for were crushed into ash by Lin Xuan.

“I’m not fighting anymore. I’m done.”

Lin Zhenyue was so embarrassed that she became angry. She thought that she could fight with Lin Xuan just because she had stepped into the mystic-rank. After all, if the attacker could not compete with the guardians in terms of combat strength… It would be a little embarrassing if others knew about it.

She came to Lin Xuan’s side and stretched out two fingers. With a fierce pinch, she twisted.

“Ow ow ow! That hurts! D*mn you should’ve just started out with this. I don’t have the time to fight with you.”

“Good thing we fought in battle mode. Otherwise, with those few blows just now would’ve…” Lin Zhenyue was afraid that she would be seriously injured.

With a casual shake of her head, she pretended to be in pain and finally calmed down. Speaking of which, she was usually very rational, wasn’t the act of pulling someone’s finger usually done by Lin Zhenxing?

“What are you looking at, you big flirt!”

Lin Zhenyue seemed to have realized something as well. She snorted and her cheeks turned pink. She pretended not to care and went to look for her younger sister.
